I'm in favor of that, and would like it to be a build option. I do understand that some applications might user executable stack in a valid manner, (things like matlab?) but most systems would be more secure if the stack were not executable. Especially routers, firewalls, and dedicated file/print servers.
Where is that patch (pretty please...:)? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jesse I Pollard, II Email: pollard@navo.hpc.mil
